Further, the software may be used on a sharing basis where multiple agencies have joint projects that can be satisfied by the use of the software placed at one ordering activity's site. This would allow other agencies access to one ordering activity's database. For ordering activity public domain databases, user agencies and third parties may use the computer program to enter, retrieve, analyze and present data. The user ordering activity will take appropriate action by instruction, agreement, or otherwise, to protect the Contractor's proprietary property with any third parties that are permitted access to the computer programs and documentation in connection with the user ordering activity's permitted use of the computer programs and documentation. For purposes of this section, all such permitted third parties shall be deemed agents of the user ordering activity.

(3) Except as is provided in paragraph 8.b(2) above, the ordering activity shall not provide or otherwise make available the software or documentation, or any portion thereof, in any form, to any third party without the prior written approval of the Contractor. Third parties do not include prime Contractors, subcontractors and agents of the ordering activity who have the ordering activity's permission to use the licensed software and documentation at the facility, and who have agreed to use the licensed software and documentation only in accordance with these restrictions. This provision does not limit the right of the ordering activity to use software, documentation, or information therein, which the ordering activity may already have or obtains without restrictions.

(4) The ordering activity shall have the right to use the computer software and documentation with the computer for which it is acquired at any other facility to which that computer may be transferred, or in cases of Disaster Recovery, the ordering activity has the right to transfer the software to another site if the ordering activity site for which it is acquired is deemed to be unsafe for ordering activity personnel; to use the computer software and documentation with a backup computer when the primary computer is inoperative; to copy computer programs for safekeeping (archives) or backup purposes; to transfer a copy of the software to another site for purposes of benchmarking new hardware and/or software only for the purpose and duration of the benchmark test; and to modify the software and documentation or combine it with other software, provided that the unmodified portions shall remain subject to these restrictions.

(5) "Commercial Computer Software" may be marked with the Contractor's standard commercial restricted rights legend, but the schedule contract and schedule pricelist, including this clause, "Utilization

Limitations" are the primary governing terms and conditions, and shall take precedence and supersede any different or additional terms and conditions included in the standard commercial legend.

8. SOFTWARE CONVERSIONS - (SIN 511210 AND SIN 54151)

Not applicable.

9. DESCRIPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY

The Contractor shall include, in the schedule pricelist, a complete description of each software product and a list of equipment on which the software can be used. Also, included shall be a brief, introductory explanation of the modules and documentation which are offered.

Flight Control® (also known as the professional or desktop version) is Simulyze Incorporated’s commercial decision support tool for dominant battlespace management, analysis and alerting, which integrates numerous sources of planning and real/near-real time data. It is a geospatial intelligence system that integrates geospatial foundation information, such as maps and imagery, with operational planning data, such as ATOs, with real time operational data, such as the GCCS COP and Predator data, and with near-real time intelligence data, such as NRTI. Currently, Simulyze has integrated Flight Control with Google Earth, ArcGIS (desktop extension or deployable ArcEngine application), Satellite Took Kit, and Falcon View to provide a robust battlespace management tool that leverages the visualization and analytical power of all the tools.

Flight Control® Enterprise is Simulyze Incorporated’s commercial geospatial intelligence server that processes and exports planning and real/near-real time battlespace information. There are three license levels. The first is for

Flight Control Enterprise interfacing with Flight Control desktops/professional. The other license levels are for

Flight Control Enterprise that exports data to another application or a database. The tool is licensed by number of users and by function. Each copy of Flight Control Enterprise is licensed for a single output of data to a single application, either residing on desktops or on a server. That data can be used for up to 250 concurrent users with a single license, either directly from the Flight Control Enterprise or indirectly through another application or service.

Flight Control® Enterprise Client (also known as Flight Lite or Lite Client) is Simulyze Incorporated’s light client/desktop decision support tool for dominant battlespace management, analysis and alerting, which integrates numerous sources of planning and real/near-real time data. It is a geospatial intelligence system that integrates geospatial foundation information, such as maps and imagery, with operational planning data, such as ATOs, with real time operational data, such as the GCCS COP and Predator data, and with near-real time intelligence data, such as NRTI. It is a light version of Flight Control Professional that interfaces with Flight Control Enterprise. This allows the majority of the heavy processing to be performed on the server leaving the client machines available for analysis and visualization. It is designed to support interactive download and is licensed with the Flight Control

Enterprise server. Desktop licensing is not required. Currently, the Flight Control Enterprise Client interfaces with

Google Earth, ArcGIS (desktop extension or deployable ArcEngine application), and Falcon View for battlespace management and visualization.

Flight Control products are installed on Windows-based workstations and servers. Simulyze provides installation and reference documentation as well as our “Building The Battlespace” document which goes through workflows on how to perform various tasks.

10. RIGHT-TO-COPY PRICING

Simulyze does not allow the ordering agency to copy, use, modify, transfer, or duplicate, or permit anyone else to copy, use, modify, transfer or duplicate, the products. Backup copies of the software products may be made only for the purpose of restoring the software to the original (or updated) equipment in case of system failure.

10. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

a. Definitions.

“Contractor” means the person, firm, unincorporated association, joint venture, partnership, or corporation that is a party to this contract.

“Contractor and its affiliates” and “Contractor or its affiliates” refers to the Contractor, its chief executives, directors, officers, subsidiaries, affiliates, subcontractors at any tier, and consultants and any joint venture involving the

Contractor, any entity into or with which the Contractor subsequently merges or affiliates, or any other successor or assignee of the Contractor.

An “Organizational conflict of interest” exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed ordering activity contract, without some restriction on ordering activities by the Contractor and its affiliates, may either (i) result in an unfair competitive advantage to the Contractor or its affiliates or (ii) impair the Contractor’s or its affiliates’ objectivity in performing contract work.

b. To avoid an organizational or financial conflict of interest and to avoid prejudicing the best interests of the ordering activity, ordering activities may place restrictions on the Contractors, its affiliates, chief executives, directors, subsidiaries and subcontractors at any tier when placing orders against schedule contracts.
